Summary
About American Akita
Large, powerful spitz-type dog with a broad, bear-like head and curled tail. Calm, loyal, and strongly protective with family, but reserved with strangers and often aloof with other dogs. Thick double coat sheds heavily. Intelligent, independent, and best suited to experienced, consistent owners.
About Spanish Greyhound
The Spanish Greyhound (Galgo Español) is an ancient Spanish sighthound, lightly built with a long body, deep chest and smooth, efficient movement. Calm, sensitive and affectionate at home, it needs regular exercise, gentle training and protection from cold due to its fine coat and low body fat.
